More specifically, control circuit 45 turn on-switch elements 40 are in order to motor 15, with maximum output, driving and rotate, and make switch element 40 disconnect stopping the rotation of motor 15.In addition, control circuit 45 carries out pulse width modulation (PWM) with driving switch element 40 and controls the rotating speed of motor 15.When forward end instrument 26 applied large torque, control circuit 45 used known control system (Fig. 5 is not shown) automatically improve the dutycycle of switch element 40 and increase to the electric current of motor 15 supplies.In the present embodiment, the drive circuit 47 that comprises control circuit 45 (circuit board 32) and switch element 40 is examples that comprise the drive circuit of switch element.
In the electric tool 11 that comprises circuit shown in Figure 5, the front end tool 26 that the user will expect is mounted to bayonet socket 25a, and holds handle part 14.Then, the user utilizes selector 29 to select forward rotation direction or the backward rotation direction of front end tool 26.The operation of frizzen 27 has driven motor 15, and with given torque, makes and be mounted to front end tool 26 rotations of rotating output unit 25.
The identical magnitude of current flows through switch element 40 and motor 15.Make like this switch element 40 heatings.Therefore, the measured temperature T d of temperature sensor 43 makes it possible to infer when motor 15 reaches overload.When measuring temperature T d and reach threshold temperature Ts as an example of predetermined temperature, control circuit 45 is judged as (being speculated as) motor 15 and is in overload, and cut-off switch element 40., even the disconnection of switch element 40 makes when operation frizzen 27 and connection trigger switch 28, also stop stopping drive motor 15 to motor 15 supply electric power and pressure.
The operation of electric tool 11 now is described.
The operation of frizzen 27 has driven electric tool 11 and has made front end tool 26 rotate to utilize front end tool 26 to execute the task.When front end tool 26 is the impacting front end tool, utilize fastener driving apparatus that the concrete screw rod is fastened to concrete.When front end tool 26 is the hole drilling type front end tool, utilize drill to punch in concrete.
When operation frizzen 27, gear mechanism 19 makes the rotating speed speed change of the output shaft 16 of motor 15, and with the rotating speed after speed change, makes and rotate output unit 25 rotations.The front end tool 26 that is mounted to bayonet socket 25a is rotated.Here, motor 15, according to the connected mode of the selector switch 46 corresponding with the chosen position of selector 29, produces forward rotation or backward rotation.
When driving electric tool 11, the rotation of motor 15 makes fan 18 that rotation occur, and passes through the opening 38a air amount of motor retaining member 38.The air that sucks has formed towards the air-flow of motor 15 with cool motors 15 and brush 33 grades.In this case, by the side face Flow Structure Nearby at motor retaining member 38 and enter opening 38a air, flow through the air of motor retaining member 38 inside and flow to the air of motor 15 from cooling fan 18 via heat sink 39, carry out Cooling fixture 37.
In addition, when the electric current that flows through coil makes motor 15 adstante febres, the electric current of same amount flows through switch element 40.Therefore, make switch element 40 heatings in the mode identical with motor 15.Because switch element 40 is fixed to heat sink 39 by the cooling fixture of air-flow, so heat is passed to fixture 37 from switch element 40.So effectively cooling switch element 40.In addition, heat is passed to the air-flow that flows to motor 15 from cooling fan 18 from motor 15.Also heat is passed to fixture 37 from the output shaft 16 of motor 15.
There is gap between the side face of heat sink 39 and motor 15.This gap is configured for the stream of air-flow, wherein, and this air-flow and heat sink 39 exchanged heats, thereby cooling heat dissipation plate 39.So further heat is passed to heat sink 39 effectively from switch element 40, and further improves the cooling effect of switch element 40.In addition, because there are gap in heat sink 39 and the side face of motor 15, so the radiant heat that heat sink 39 receives from motor 15, thereby with motor 15 exchanged heats.Like this, the radiating component that shared as motor 15 and switch element 40 of heat sink 39.Therefore, the heat history of the heat history of switch element 40 and motor 15 has relative strong positive correlation.
When driving electric tool 11, the temperature of temperature sensor 43 measuring switch elements 40.Control circuit 45 judgement is measured temperature T d and whether has been reached threshold temperature Ts (Td 〉=Ts).When being judged as when measuring temperature T d and having reached threshold temperature Ts, control circuit 45 disconnects switch element 40, and stops to the supply of electric power of motor 15.Having suppressed like this may be by the overheated fault that causes such as what shorten service life etc.In addition, the situation below having avoided: when measuring temperature T d and reach threshold temperature Ts and control circuit 45 and stop supply of electric power to motor 15, the temperature of motor 15 significantly allows limit temperature lower than allowing limit temperature or being significantly higher than.
The advantage of the present embodiment now is described.
(1) switch element 40 is linked to metal fixture 37, wherein, metal fixture 37 is fixed to body shell 12 with motor 15.As a result, fixture 37 is used for the heat from switch element 40 is shed.Therefore, fixture 37 is used for making from the two heat of motor 15 and switch element 40 and sheds.Therefore, the heat history of the heat history of motor 15 and switch element 40 has relative strong positive correlation.Even, like this based on the measurement temperature T d of switch element 40 and stop to the supply of electric power of motor 15, also can suitably stop to the supply of electric power of motor 15 when motor 15 is overheated.In addition, effectively cooling switch element 40.
(2) fixture 37 is fixed to body shell 12 with the outlet side of motor 15, and comprises for the motor retaining member 38 of maintenance motor 15 and the heat sink 39 that extends from motor retaining member 38.Switch element 40 is linked to heat sink 39., due to peripheral assembly or the shape of switch element 40, may be difficult to the surface that provides motor retaining member 38 to be linked to motor retaining member 38 is interior.Yet, extend from motor retaining member 38 by making heat sink 39, can obtain for the space that links switch element 40.In addition, heat sink 39 has shape and the size that the whole surface that makes switch element 40 contacts with heat sink 39.Therefore, most of link surface of switch element 40 can contact with heat sink 39, and can obtain from switch element 40 to heat sink 39 larger area of heat transfer.In addition, heat sink 39 is to extend with respect to motor retaining member 38 outstanding modes.Therefore, this outstanding shape has obtained the relatively wide surface area of heat sink 39.So also improved the cooling effect of switch element 40.
(3) cooling fan 18 (fan unit) that is linked to the output shaft 16 of motor 15 has produced the air-flow that is used for cool motors retaining member 38 and utilizes the heat sink 39 cold switch elements 40 that extend from motor retaining member 38.
